Meddle not with Mother Nature, lest you face her wrath.

is there a way to tell how far the jovian radiation belt is going to advance on the start of the next mission? our host swears up and down that he's watching the map and choosing missions and destinations that keep us ahead of the radiation, but all 3-4 of the campaigns we've started have ended with the entire crew getting microwaved to death. part of our group is vehemently against turning it off because they like the ticking clock element, but the rest of our group is sick of starting a run from level 1 every 5 or so missions in we get. if there's some way to just know exactly where the radiation is going to be and definitively stay ahead of it, then it would be a non-issue, but apparently there isn't? i'm not ruling out our host not reading the map right

As far as I know, the jovian radiation advances based on game time, not based on area or mission completion. The clock is constantly ticking as you are in outpost or in sub. My group turned it off for that reason.
